Dennis Rodman Once Dropped $100,000 On An Item With His Own Flaming Head On It

Dennis Rodman lived quite the extravagant lifestyle during his days in the NBA. A stark difference from the way he grew up with his mother and sisters; Rodman realized that he needed to live a life that let him express himself as best he could. 

This led to him doing his due diligence as a professional basketball player in the NBA but also indulging in everything from women to substances on the side. The perfect example of Rodman doing this would be him leaving the Bulls for 48 hours during a tumultuous 1997-98 season to go party in Las Vegas. 

However, Rodman wasn’t just someone who spent money on experiences. He bought a variety of physical possessions that he would enjoy throughout the course of his career and after as well. His most frequent indulgence would be cars, and he had quite a lot of them.

Dennis Rodman spent $100,000 on a custom Lamborghini 

Dennis Rodman never shied away from dropping a serious amount of money on materialistic possessions and he certainly lived up to this buy purchasing a car for $100,000. The sports car was a Lamborghini Gallardo. 

The 2004 Gallardo wasn’t just any model however. It was one that featured customized decals on it’s body, customized solely for Rodman and nobody else. The biggest feature on this Lamborghini was the fact that his face in the form of a flaming head was present on the side of the vehicle. 

A highly personalized version of the car made this one that Rodman cherished deeply but at the same time, made it so that the car would almost immediately depreciate in value as an asset. It’s safe to say that people might not want to buy a car with Dennis’s head on it for the same reasons no one wants to buy Michael Jordan’s Chicago mansion. 

Dennis Rodman has had a bevy of other cars 

Dennis Rodman never limited himself to having ‘one’ of one thing as he’s had a plethora of cars that he’s driven and owned over the decades. 

He’s had everything from a 1959 Cadillac convertible to a 1996 Porche 993TT, a car that was found to be put on sale on eBay in 2008. A lot of Rodman’s cars would eventually stop being in his possession due to him having to sell them to get back money.
